In the thread detailing the official upcoming fixes for the game, we see this entry about controller issues: "We have not stopped looking into the complaints and will see what we can do about it. Any possible changes will have to be carefully implemented and tested before being deployed though." Then there is an update promised later in the week. That wasn't the end of things, however.

The possibility of patched controls set off quite the firestorm in the thread, which led to yet another update from a somewhat exasperated Downie. I'll let his post speak for itself.

Okay, before I start crying.

1. We have not decided if we are going to do anything to the controls. We are investigating.

2. If we change them, we have not said how. No reason to get upset. We are not going to turn them on their head. It would not be sweeping changes.

3. Any potential changes made will be carefully analyzed and tested to ensure they do not negatively affect players who do not experience any issues.

Now can you all take a break and stop making threads about this. They will not affect change either way.

So there you go, there might not be a change, and even if it does happen, no one is saying what will be adjusted or fixed.

To throw our hat into the ring once again, if this many people are spilling this much ink and that many people are talking about the issue... then it's an issue. There are gamers out there making comparisons to Lair. That is not that type of talk you want to have around your game. Sometimes the teeming masses are simply out for blood, but I don't think this is the case here; the people would like some changes to the game. I humbly suggest they be at least given the option to put the controls where they'd like.
